On the day of the wedding.

In the palace, the lights are colorful and joyful.

Kunning Palace. Wu Nian and Liu Xiang sat on the throne together, and the eunuchs and palace maids in front of them were very happy.

Wu Nian sighed: "When this kid was born, he was a small lump. Now they are all grown up and married. ”

"yes." Liu Xiang couldn't close her mouth with a smile and nodded again and again. Back then, it was really a small lump, and I was afraid of falling in my arms, and I was afraid of melting in my mouth.

When the sons grew up, they all married daughters-in-law.

Wu Nian stretched out his hand to hold Liu Xiang's little hand, and then looked at Xiao Nizi. Although she is getting old and has crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, in his heart, she is still that little girl.

"Brother. Don't look at me like that. Liu Xiang said a little shyly.

"Huh." In front of the eunuchs and palace maids, Wu Nian hugged Liu Xiang's small waist and hugged her into his arms. Liu Xiang gave up the struggle and lay down obediently.

The husband and wife hugged each other for a long time, and a eunuch walked in from outside. Wu Nian tidied up his clothes and helped Liu Xiang tidy up the phoenix crown. The emperor and queen went out of Kunning Palace together and came to the Qianqing Palace in front.

A couple dressed in auspicious clothes are waiting.

"Father, mother."

Wu Yu led the crown princess Wang and bowed to the emperor.

"Get up." Wu Nian raised his hand and said, and then looked at the crown princess Wang.

Wang himself is more dignified and ladylike than the portrait, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he knows that he is a supple at a glance.

The palace maid came to the palace with a plate full of jujube chestnuts in her hand.

The crown princess Wang slowly came to the front of the palace and saluted, and the palace maid handed her the plate. She held the plate in her hand, saluted, and withdrew.

Then, the palace maid came to Liu Xiang with a chest repair plate, that is, dried meat.

The crown princess Wang came to Liu Xiang and saluted, and retreated with her hands in her hand.

It's all a ritual in the palace, so let's take a walk.

After the ceremony was completed, the emperor and the crown princess said some common words to the crown prince and the crown princess, and sent them away.

In the East Palace, there is its own wine banquet.

The kings, princesses, relatives of the Wu family, and courtiers of the East Palace are all there.

When you eat the wine, it's time for the candles in the cave room.

The status of the emperor and queen is too high, and it is difficult to participate. However, Wu Nian set up a banquet alone in the Qianqing Palace, and invited Li Yong and other old brothers to eat and drink together.

After the prince's wedding. Wu Nian's court life has changed a little. Sooner or later, the crown prince will bring the crown princess to greet his father and mother.

The crown prince is married. The princesses and the older kings, under the control of Liu Xiang, got married one after another.

The population of the Wu family swelled all of a sudden.

In the capital, it was lively for a while.

Spring goes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye, it's winter.

Since the day before yesterday, it has been snowing in the capital. The snow was getting thicker and thicker, so that the entire capital was covered in snow.

Inside the Imperial Garden.

Wu Nian was wearing a dragon robe and a thick coat, standing under the porch to enjoy the snow. Next to it is the dressed Kyogoku Yukisato.

This Ryukyu princess has the word "snow" in her name.

Wu Nian was in a good mood today, so he enjoyed the snow with her.

After playing together for a while, the two came to the gazebo and sat down.

There is a charcoal stove, a stone table, and four stone benches in the pavilion. On the table are peanuts, broad beans, preserved fruits, and other things.

After the two of them sat down, the eunuch brought the boiled wine.

There's nothing like a hot wine in the winter to warm up your body.

Wu Nian pinched the wine glass, touched it with Kyogoku Yukiri, and then drank it all. Wu Nian's face was as usual, and on his fair and tender face in the snow of Jingji, a red glow appeared, which was beautiful.

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to move to Shanxi?" Kyogoku Yukiri put down her glass and raised her little face and asked.

"Hmm. To the east of the Taihang Mountains, the situation has stabilized. But Shanxi, there is still ....... The widow had to go there in person and settle Shanxi. ”

Wu Nian nodded slightly.

The terrain on the Shanxi side is complex, and there are Chu generals who divide it. The generals are also gearing up, saying that they want to pacify the thieves.

But Wu Nian didn't want to be tough, he wanted to be soft.

It's all Han Chinese, it's a pity to be killed or injured.

If it really doesn't work, attack again.

Kyogoku Yuki showed a reluctant look, what could be more painful than not being able to stay with the man he liked?

She and Wu Nian are really less together and more separated.

"I'll dance for Your Majesty. I wish Your Majesty success. Kyogoku Yukiri stood up and bowed.

"Okay." Wu Nian smiled and nodded.

In the midst of the falling snow, the Kyogoku Snow moved into the snow, shaking its sleeves and dancing, which was really pleasing to the eye.

After separating from Jingji Xueli, Wu Nian came to the Qianqing Palace and sat down surrounded by everyone. After a while, Shi Xian walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty." Shi Xian bowed and saluted.

"No courtesy." Wu Nian raised his hand, then looked at his face, found that it was dark and strong, and said with a smile: "Champion Gong." Seeing your sturdy appearance, the widow is relieved. ”

Shi Xian.

The champion of Wu Nian when he first opened a department. The first person to answer the call and go to Sushun.

Before that, he served as a prefect. The Jinshi who went to Sushun with him also served as county commanders and prefects in various places.

This time. Wu Nian summoned him back with the intention of appointing him as the governor of Shanxi.

The officials have already passed through the gas with him. But there was neither joy nor worry on his face.

Wu Nian was very satisfied.

"That place in Shanxi. There are many mountains and few lands. Drought and little rainfall. The people were poor. When you arrive in the place, you must be kind to the people. Don't be afraid of anything, just report it to the court. ”

"The court will support you."

Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Shi Xian bowed to be.

"Also. You know the widow's steam car, right? Wu Nian asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows a thing or two." Shi Xian nodded. Under the subtle influence of the Wu year, the Han Dynasty did not reject science and technology.

Cement, for example, plays a big role.

It's a steam car, I heard that it's not built well, and it's still in the experimental stage.

"Hmm. It's an iron horse that eats coal. And Shanxi has many coal mines. When you get to Shanxi, you fence off all the coal mines. ”

Wu Nian said.

"Yes." Shi Xian bowed to be.

Coal mines, Wu Nian plans to be nationalized like salt and iron. Shanxi is a big coal mining province.

In my previous life, I didn't know how many coal bosses I was rich.

It is better for the country to eat it if the rich and powerful eat it.

Again. Although the Han kingdom is getting bigger and bigger, there are also more and more troops. On the whole, it is still a stage of reckless militarism.

Thanks to the ability of Liu Zhixing and others, the Han Kingdom has had a surplus over the years.

The more revenue, the better.

Three days passed.

Early in the morning. In the midst of the falling snow, Wu Mintong, the king of Qi, led the cavalry of 10,000 households as the vanguard, along the avenue, to Shanxi.

The emperor followed closely behind under the protection of Ouchi's guards and countless soldiers.

The Son of Heaven drove Shanxi.
